So, I'm loving this mod, but I'm having a small problem with it. In my "About This Mac" dialog (image attached), the fonts are off, and cover up the button at the bottom. Any suggestions?

Also, how did you mod the image at the top? I'd love the retro Apple Computer logo and an image of my MacBook up there.

^^ I made the image of the retro Apple logo plus my PowerBook and put PowerBook G4 at the bottom of the image in photoshop. As for the positioning being off I have startup disk showing on mine. That could be why yours messes up like that. The Mac OS X is part of the image so that is why it is black. You have to change it to white.

To change the Apple logo with Mac OS X under it /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow/Resources/MacOSX.tiff needs to be replaced with a tiff picture of your choice.

The bug with about this mac without startup disk showing is fixed now.

Will try some of these 2night

Wow, guess I'm just finding all of the bugs. I appreciate the idea of the package installer instead of just telling us where to put it, but it's not working on my system. Instead, I end up without the changes being made and with a bunch of the files on my hard drive (at the root directory).

mine didnt work as well. Im downloading xcode right now, however..

 

[dmmcintyre3]

Installer should work now. Please Test it. It is a automator action.

 

[Spares]

[dmmcintyre3]

I will try to make an uninstaller. Now where did I put the backup of the original files?

 

[Melrose]

I will try to make an uninstaller.

I was just about to install it and give it a go before I read that.. I don't install anything I can't easily undo, esp not system stuff.

automator -> open existing workflow

on a side note, the installer seems to be giving me some trouble, says theres a problem with the workflow and to check my properties and try again

 

[peepboon]

[Spares]

download from his site, open the dmg to mount it, open automator, select existing workflow, go to the mounted drive, select the installer.

Only problem i had was it didnt install hahah, might be the way i was doing it but theres how to actually run the installer
